If you're going to use MDRv1 protocol then I can share the experience.

We use intel-ipmi-oem and it handles requests like 0x3e:0x20 (for
region status) by calling methods of a D-Bus object, which you should
also be able to query manually following

busctl introspect xyz.openbmc_project.Smbios.MDR_V1 /xyz/openbmc_project/Smbios/MDR_V1

output.

"xyz.openbmc_project.Smbios.MDR_V1" is handled by
https://github.com/Intel-BMC/provingground/tree/master/services/smbios .

Example of requesting status of the first region:

# ipmitool raw 0x3e 0x20 1
 11 01 01 02 00 00 80 cc 0a 91

Why are you using 0x30 0x1a, it seems to be
<Intel General Application>:<Get NIC Info> so completely unrelated?
